The chainstay clearance is <2 mm with those tires, so a tire that actually measures 38 mm may rub. Brake arm clearance is ~5 mm in front and rear under Tektro R539 calipers. I was considering the 700 x 35 Schwalbe G-One or 700 x 32 Panaracer Gravel King (slick tread) tires. But, I found a barely used pair of 700 x 32 (knobby) Gravel Kings on eBay, so I'll roll on those. I haven't test-ridden the Roadeo yet, with either tire. The streets are way too sloppy here for a non-fendered bike. I did ride ~20 miles on my fat bike yesterday, in 2" of fresh powder.
